The greatest stimulator of my running career was fear.
I hadn't a clue who I was racing against. All I knew was how I was going to race.
I have never been a killer. I'm not an aggressive personality and if I can remember any emotion I felt during a race it was fear. The greatest stimulator of my running was fear.
The important thing is the attitude of the athlete, the desire to get to the top.
The only tactics I admire are do-or-die
Training was a time where resolutions made in the enthusiasm of an inspired moment were put to personal test.
